Narrative
A client's track is done, the release date is booked, and a four-bar of a 1970s soul record holds the whole chorus together. Now it lands on your desk.
You are the advisor in the room: the lawyer, manager, the person who has to make this releasable. The job is not to admire the sample. It is to answer one question with a yes or a no: can this come out, and at what cost?
Clearing a sample is not one permission. It is a process with two doors, and if either stays shut, the release is blocked.
